My sweet little Emersyn,
I am not sure there are words or enough words that could even begin to describe how I feel about you. I know that sounds cliche, but it is true. I knew a long time ago you were going to be a part of our family. I have been waiting for you. I knew you before you were born. When you were finally born, it was like we had been reunited. I knew your soul, your face, your heart. It is a feeling that I will never forget, that I will never take for granted.

Even though you are just a few weeks old you have fit right into our "little" family. It feels as if you have always been here, never missing a beat. Thank you Emersyn for wanting to be apart of our family making us have an even half dozen. Even though we may have six kids, each of them have a special place in our hearts and you little miss, have stolen each one of our hearts.

I love you Emmy. More than words.
Love,
Your Mom

there's strength in numbers

Life's better with friends. Agreed? S'no doubt these funny, adorable kids will always have a friend (and family member) to make life sweet.

photos a la carte

With all that's been going on around here, it's been next to impossible to find a moment to post. But we're back in the game with 16 new photos taken over the last two weeks (methinks this ties a record...).

For the record, I don't like cropping to a square, but it's by far the easiest way to lay out the blog (not a good excuse, I know)... Besides, why give away the whole shot, right? However, if anyone out there knows how to code our blog so thumbnails show up as square but clicking on them shows the entire shot, PLEASE share!

Some of these photos were taken with our new fluorescent studio lighting, while some were shot without any artificial light at all. Can you tell which ones?
